Dalrada Financial Corporation announced the appointment of Elizabeth Ann Winzeler, Ph.D., a Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine, as a member of the Dalrada Health advisory board. Dr. Winzeler received a Ph.D. from the Department of Developmental Biology at Stanford University, where she trained under microbiologists and geneticists, before a joint position at the Scripps Research Institute and the Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation. Her efforts with malaria drug discovery yielded several novel antimalarial chemotypes that are currently in late-stage clinical trials.

At UCSD, Dr. Winzeler leads a group that uses systematic, data-intensive methods to solve problems at the interface of host-pathogen biology, typically involving large collections of chemical screening data and whole-genome sequencing. Dr. Winzeler has received many accolades throughout her career, including awards from the Keck Foundation, the Ellison Medical Foundation, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, where she is currently the Director of the Foundation's Malaria Drug Accelerator (MalDA).
